Palin's $100000 Gift From RNC

[The Judge]

I would think that this is not out of line for any Pres/VP candidate.

It is absolutely appropriate and I applaud the RNC's sense of fashion.




Red sells, baby! :00hour



I also agree with Dawgball that this story is silly.

Of course your kidding. If true Obama would not have to be told last week to get a new pair of shoes because ones he had on had holes starting.
And you can bet your butt if RNC could say that they would 1000 times by now.
This is not normal practices per a couple ex campaign managers. One that ran Gore's and Bush 41 campaigens. For certain for kids. Kids are left at home with nanny.

Going along the "better prepared" theme, don't you think Gore and Bush already had a campaign-ready wardrobe?

1. I still think this story getting this much attention shows how fecking stupid the American public is.
2. I still stand that $150,000 doesn't seem that crazy if you are talking full-blown head to toe with hair/make-up services as well. Not that I would be anywhere close to spending this much, bu there is some expensive shit out there. And you know they have to buy options for her to wear.

So what was the big deal about Edwards haircut?

Are you asking me?

No that was an open question. Seems to me that a lot of people on this board had a problem with Edwards haircut. I don't remember if you were one or not.

I agree not that big of story. But these are called conservatives. Whats in a label that can't be seen. In other words what about buying these items say at Target or Penneys. I believe they would have saved 1/2. And being a sitting Governor she does not have decent clothes.
But the part that would have made me mad. If I sent a hard earn 15 bucks to the campaign. I would not ever think it would be used this way.

In reality this is a non-story. Who cares how the Republicans spend their money. But, most of the Republicans saying this is a non story were jumping all over Edwards for his haircut. So some of us are just having fun with the Hockey Mom.
